Blood_Hawk23 replied to a thread carrier take offs in CFS2 General Discussion

An option for some planes is Cat Launch. Its not hard to setup. Tango_Romeo did a tutorial on it. You can even use it for a JATO/RATO assisted takeoff. There is even an option for jets, thought the jets have a bug. If you need any assistance let me know.

Allen. Thank You very much my friend. That did it. We now have a PuW 50kg bomb. This might not be the final version. sorry its not on a german plane and those are the wrong pylons but you get the point. I'll have a new texture for the Aerocrate's weapons.

:banghead: ok here is what i have. first... Allen, it worked great. I now have a wep_puw_50kg_gp bomb. might actually work better as a 100kg. I think i made it a little too big. the 100kg i made is more like a 150 to a 250. so i need a new scaled version for the 50. no big deal. I'm having trouble with the textures now. it seems it wants to use only the portion that the wep_puw_12kg_gp bomb uses. i mapped it to a different location. :isadizzy:

Blood_Hawk23 replied to a thread How can I increase the speed of an aircraft? in CFS2 General Discussion

the prop pitch has a huge effect on you top speed. a variable pitch prop will give you the ability to adjust the pitch to gain the best angle for climbing and at cruise. remember that the propeller is a wing. if the pitch is to great it will stall and no longer creat lift. or in this case thrust. see if the aircraft has a variable pitch prop. if it does then find the propeller controls and use them while flying.

Blood_Hawk23 replied to a thread How can I increase the speed of an aircraft? in CFS2 General Discussion

there is no text that I know of. its funny that alot of people think that this is a game. we must remember it is a simulator. the kool thing about this is real world information translates well. In other words, what works on a real aircraft can be applied to these aircraft. i suggest getting a copy of Air wrench. now you can not make adjustments in it (unless you get the full version) but it will help show you the effects of your changes. just a thought: i think that thrust is equal to torque but please don't quote me on that. In automobiles if you increase the torque then you increase its ability to go faster. torque gets you going and Horse power keeps you going. is an old drag racers term. i believe that thrust can be applied in the same way. sorry for the rambling.

There are 17 airbases in the Aerocrate's scenery. only 11 have anything on them. I'm Removing all of the AA guns and static planes from the GSL. This is 1917 not 1916. so out with the old kites and in with the new. My original scenery will be added to this. Maybe a few minor changes. There are 8 airfields in my original scenery.

I've even taken one that I know is correct and ran it through scasm again and get the black texture again. did i setup scasm wrong? Its kind of driving me nuts.

As far as I know the XML isn't needed for CFS2. maybe later if you want to develope it for FS2004 or FSX. the plane is the F1M2 Pete we modified for the Nissin. though i wish we could make a BGL of it and have it on the non cat models. oh well.

Hi Fibber,

It's just an artifact from how I compiled my original zipfiles using ( an old version of) winzip. I deleted the WIP design files from the upload, but discovered later that when people view the zip contents using windows explorer you can still see the empty folders ... go figure.

Glad you get some enjoyment from my efforts, that's why I post them ...

Cheers UT

BTW Fibber, I don't know if I already sent you thiese pictures, but here are the only pictures I have found of Kagman. The first was taken in the early sixties when it was still an operational field- used by the CIA apparently. The second shows the same view from the same location- no more runway but you can just make out a line of trees that runs along Kagman Road- the old runway. The third picture shows a view of Saipan from the north looking south during the War. If you look real carefully- and use your imagination- you can make out what is probably the end of the runway with that large taxiway coming off the end that shows in the first picture.

Fibber - August 13th, 2010 16:20

MR;
This info is probably stale to you but I did find a reference somewhere about Kagman that stated that Kagman road WAS/IS the old airfield runway. Lost the site but it was somewhere in a tourist BS lure.
As to photos, This must have been a memoriable place to be. Can't find ANY airborne photos or re-construction plans for the place. Maybe the Japanese side has some, as it was a Jap field.

MaskRider - August 6th, 2010 20:54

Hiya, Fibber. Yes, that is a wonderful website.

I tell ya what would really be a find. I have had very limited success looking for images of it- but aerial photos of Kagman Field, Saipan. It was a fighter strip out on the Kagman Peninsula- east coast, central Saipan. I have a runway "sketched" in there. I have only been able to find 2 very distant photos that show the runway- taken from the hills north of the airfield. If you go there in Google Earth you will see a road that runs east/west named Kagman Road. I am very positive that this road is built on top of what used to be the runway at Kagman field and that is where I sketched in a runway for it.
Anyway, like I said- any contemporaneous photos or images of Kagaman Field- especially from the air that show its layout- would be most welcome.

Thanks!
